  • What do pediatricians recommend for teething?

    Teething is a normal process of growth and development. As we don’t feel ourselves growing up rarely do we feel any pain or other Teething is the same. They should not cause any of the things which they are accused of. No significant pain, bo fever, no diarrhea, or ever pain on feeding is caused by teething . Really, if you think teething is causing discomfort then you can give a dose of Acetaminophen according to the weight (10-15 mg /Kg). Usually, the whole period of teething from around 6 months to 30 months will pass unnoticed! Teeth in kids should be cared for fluoride and cleaning. Give your child some water before bed if he or she drinks milk before bedtime or wash teeth with a kids brush. Good nutrition is also important for teeth health and avoiding sweetened juices is important too. READ MORE

  • Can doctors do anything for the stomach flu?

    Stomach flu is a limited disease of 2-3 days duration. All what you need to do if there was vomiting get a stomach rest for 3-4 hours, and then start giving bland diet or just clear fluids with small amount over frequent times like every 20 minutes for few hours. Then continue gradually increase the amount slowly. If there was diarrhea and vomiting, go to your PCP to check for dehydration. Most cases improve. Dr. Afaneh READ MORE

  • Why does my daughter hear a clicking sound?

    Clicking sounds may be due to fluid in the middle ear or bad function of the Eustachian tube. Sometimes may be disruption of the inner ear cartilages. However, the most common cause in kids is the tube dysfunction or middle or external ear fluids. Dr. Afaneh READ MORE

  • Are protein drinks bad for kids?

    Kids need 1-2 g of protein per kilogram of body weight. However, extra proteins may constitute extra loads for the kidneys to deal with. I do not recommend giving those if your kid is eating a balanced diet and getting enough proteins through his meals. READ MORE

  • Newborn constipation, what can I do?

    I think this baby has no problem . She is breast fed and can have many BM or none at all daily. However this gassy issue can probably improve with burping the baby for a while as some babies may take a longer time. It is reassuring that she is gaining weight well. READ MORE
